About Your

Jenn-Air Oven

Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air wall oven. Your
Jenn-Air convection oven combines the best of two cooking

methods, convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or
roasting, in a self-cleaning oven.

The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven
that circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broil

heating elements cycle on and off with the thermostat, afan keeps

the heated air circulating around the food.
The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven

strips away the layer of cooler air that surrounds food. Conse-
quently, many foods cook more quickly. Distributed heat makes

multiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain

their natural flavor and juiciness with less shrinkage than radiant

bake roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cook-

ing, your oven is also a fine full-featured "bake and broil" oven.

You can cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past.
The radiant bake oven also gives you the flexibility of preparing

various foods when convection cooking may not be as beneficial,
as when cooking foods in covered casseroles or clay pots.

The broil element isconvenient for top browning and oven broiling
of foods.

The time bake feature can be used with either the convection
or radiant bake oven.

Before you begin cooking with your new oven, please take a few
minutes to read and become familiar with the instructions in this

book. On the following pages you will find a wealth of information
regarding all aspects of using your new oven. By following the

instructions carefully, you will be able to fully enjoy and properly
maintain your oven and achieve excellent results with the food

you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air oven

or need a use and care manual, write to us. Be sure to provide
the model number.

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read before operating your oven

All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the

potential through improper or careless use to create safety
problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should

be observed:

1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.

2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area

where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.

5, Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless

specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air

Service Contractor.

6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.

7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth.

9. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.

10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pres-
sure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

11. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

12. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

13. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.

14. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner

or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be

used in or around any part of the oven.

15. Clean only parts listed in this manual.

16. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and
other utensils.

17. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the

broil and cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before

self-cleaning again.

18. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after

use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns-- among these surfaces are: oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors,

windows of oven doors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of

1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish

a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer
or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of

potential exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are
hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle,

there may be some low level exposure to some of the listed substances,

including Carbon Monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized by properly venting the range to the outdoors during the
self-clean cycle.
